Default sorry, but which intake on a budget?

hey guys, sorry bout this but i tried searching for this but couldn't really come up with anything, but which intake on a budget is best? ls6, bbk, holley, pp, etc? i got a 00ss m6, lt's, ory, loudmouth, diablosport tuner and i'm gonna do h/c/i. prolly gonna go to tsp to get there prc stage 2.5 heads and torquer v.2 cam. I'm trying to do this on a budget so i def. can't afford a fast right now, and i also can't afford to port whatever intake right now either. this is gonna be mainly a street car but i wouldn't mind being able to knock down a low 12, possibly 11 second timeslip. hoping for about 420 rwhp. any ideas? any different intakes that i didn't list or don't know about? hoping for replies from people with experience with these intakes, just not hear say. sorry for the long post, just wanted to give out as much info as possible thanks

You can pick up a bbk intake for around 400.00...but theres always alot of ls6's used on this board...I wouldnt wast the time or the money on the other stuff...Just get your stock throttle body ported...Those 2 are a nice gain on a budget

I picked up a 96MM typhoon intake for like $200 then had it ported and installed. I had a few bugs at first with the tune, but it's running great now no worries

It's not that great unported, but if you get it ported it works pretty darn good
